As If I Didn't Have Enough to Worry About

Another Cheerful Note from Dad:

Email Header: DIABETES!!

"Daunting report in the NYT about the pernicious stealth attack from this disease -- people often don't know for years, until the body is in a fairly advanced stage of infection, with most dire results -- lost toes, feet, legs. This even in youngish people, and with NYC leading the nation in new cases all are advised to listen up.

Two key causes - weight and sugar, followed by lack of exercise and insufficient diet (of green veg and fruit, natch).

Don't want to raise alarm but a serious thought -- maybe more motivation for more gym time. Next time you get to an MD ask for test on this.

Dad"

Apparently I am currently overweight and will eventually lose a limb.

Uh, thanks Dad.
